Chapter 1296: Underestimated Him! (Thanks to Qingyan Xiaoguan for the extra 17/54)
Yu Yi hurried over as soon as she saw Chen Cang coming down.
She looked at him anxiously: "Professor Chen… You… You're being too reckless!"
Jiang Jingyu, also at a loss whether to laugh or cry, said: "Professor Chen, you… sigh…"
Neither of them really understood what Chen Cang was talking about!
But they were certain that Chen Cang was definitely not praising the elephant trunk stent material.
That was absolutely certain!
In fact, he might even have been belittling the material…
Chen Cang couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, let's see the results tomorrow."
Yu Yi, watching Chen Cang's calm demeanor, stormed over in frustration and whispered in his ear: "Professor Chen, the assistant has already sent the footage back to the country! I bet Director Xiao and Minister Cao have seen it by now!"
Chen Cang responded nonchalantly with an "Oh, that's great."
Yu Yi widened her eyes in disbelief, puffing up with anger.
"Don't you get it? If the director sees this, you're going to suffer for it!"
Chen Cang, amused by Yu Yi's urgency, chuckled: "How do you know I won't win an award?"
Yu Yi couldn't help but retort: "Do you think I'm dumb? You didn't even say anything positive, and… look at everyone's expressions down there, they're all staring at you like you're insane!"
Chen Cang took a glance at the crowd.
Sure enough.
Many people were glaring at him with fury in their eyes.
Chen Cang couldn't help but smile!
Perfect.
The effect should be just right.
These past few months, Chen Cang had no intention of revealing his new classifications and standards yet.
He was reserving them for AATS2020.
As for their anger?
Anger is a good thing!
It's the perfect catalyst for sparking discussion.
Without The Lancet's amplification, getting the new classification to gain traction and interest, or prompt discussions among professionals, would require these people to stir it up themselves!
Chen Cang looked at Yu Yi and couldn't resist saying: "Relax, when we get back, I guarantee you'll be credited for a major achievement!"
Yu Yi rolled her eyes at him: "Hmph, my aunt thought she could come along and ride on the glory, but turns out it's a mess!"
"Whatever, I'll let it slide this time because of last night's feast!"
Chen Cang grinned.
"It's big brother Jiang who's really unlucky!" Yu Yi sighed.
Jiang Jingyu laughed wryly and shook his head: "It's alright, just getting to know a colorful character like Professor Chen makes it worthwhile. But you better treat us to another meal when we get back!"
After all, neither of them were professionals, and Chen Cang's earlier presentation admittedly wasn't exactly a crowd-pleaser!
Chen Cang glanced at the group and couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, you all really have zero faith in me, huh!?"
"If there really was a problem, wouldn't Director Xiao call me immediately?"
The two thought about it carefully and realized it made sense.
If the director hadn't called, then it probably wasn't an issue.
Yu Yi muttered: "The director is probably so pissed she threw her phone, that's why she isn't calling!"
Chen Cang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Meanwhile.
Xiao Runfang was indeed momentarily stunned but quickly snapped back to reality!
Cao Yu couldn't help but marvel: "This Chen Cang… What a fascinating character!"
Xiao Runfang sighed wistfully.
Just now, Chen Cang had almost scared her to death.
After all, he went on stage and declared that the elephant trunk stent technique was nothing special, even hinting at making the patent public.
If that didn't shock people, what would?
But later, Chen Cang's speech actually made Xiao Runfang's eyes light up.
"Dean Qi, what's your take?" Xiao Runfang asked, turning to an elderly man in a white shirt and trousers sitting in their row.
Qi Lianshan set down his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and spoke calmly:
"Technically, this is my first time meeting Chen Cang, and I must say, he's impressive!"
"In fact, judging by today's competition, Chen Cang originally had no chance of being ranked first. Whether it's Johnson & Johnson's cardiac assist device or Medtronic's improved artificial pancreas technology, these are today's highlights!"
"If Chen Cang secures third place, it'd already be quite an achievement!"
"But he's taken an unconventional approach, completely overturning his routine and revising his speech. This chain of moves is truly remarkable!"
Qi Lianshan stood and paced for a moment.
As the dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qi Lianshan had encountered countless geniuses.
But today, this surprise maneuver brought genuine joy to his heart.
This Chen Cang is indeed a talent!
Cao Yu asked curiously: "Isn't calling him first place a bit much? Johnson & Johnson's new technology seems excellent to me."
Qi Lianshan shook his head: "Minister Cao, you don't know much about this medical expo."
"Seventy-five percent of the reviewers here are current clinical doctors, while the remaining twenty-five percent are mostly individuals with clinical medical experience."
"So, let me ask you—did Chen Cang's speech resonate with doctors?"
Cao Yu nodded after hearing this!
Chen Cang had framed doctors and technology as software and hardware.
Beyond that, he had conveyed a sense of mission for medical practitioners.
"Indeed, Chen Cang's presentation holds strong appeal for healthcare workers."
Qi Lianshan smiled and added:
"And not just that!"
"Chen Cang's brilliance truly shone in the last three minutes!"
"What came before? I think he was just filling time."
His statement left Cao Yu dumbfounded.
The earlier parts weren't the main focus?
Qi Lianshan sighed: "Chen Cang's brilliance lies just there!"
"He not only has cunning strategies for an unexpected victory!"
"Crucially, he also has solid substance to back it up!"
"If the earlier parts were his spontaneous tactics to captivate the reviewers..."
"Then everything Chen Cang said afterwards, including the Type Chen surgical classification, was solid and genuine work!"
"The current aortic dissection classification system is outdated, and there's a dire need for unified classifications tailored to medical professionals."
"Chen Cang's mastery lies exactly there!"
"He's set out a new classification system and guidelines for aortic dissection!"
Qi Lianshan was convinced that Chen Cang had more than just classifications; he had an entire set of guidelines and standards.
"During those last three minutes, Chen Cang only introduced one classification, leaving three others entirely unrevealed!"
"And that's precisely his brilliance."
"I predict that right now, all the medical personnel present are torn between admiration and frustration toward him!"
Xiao Runfang: "If he takes first place, he'll definitely fetch a hefty price for the patent!"
Qi Lianshan chuckled and shook his head: "Selling patents?"
"No, he would never!"
"He didn't come here to showcase patents today!"
"From beginning to end, Chen Cang was selling *himself*!"
At this point, Qi Lianshan glanced at Xiao Runfang: "Director Xiao, this kid is tough to deal with!"
"Let him slip away now, and who knows how many people worldwide are going to fight over him!"
"This boy is not to be underestimated!"
The comment sparked Xiao Runfang's recollection of Chen Cang's recent bout of moodiness.
She took a deep breath.
She had truly underestimated him!
